No, I’m not dropping out of the University of Michigan or transferring programs. Throughout the coming weeks I will be taking Honors 390, a course designed specifically for me by Dr. Alexandra Stern and myself. This course will hopefully allow me to better appreciate the humanistic elements of my research interests in health care inequities. It is one thing to understand how the research works, but it is truly something else to try to understand the thoughts, emotions, and actions of people who have lived with the oppression that I want to study.
I hope that these next series of posts throughout the coming weeks will make you think, will challenge some of your thoughts, and will promote discussion and collaboration to not only improve health care for marginalized communities, but improve how society treats them as well.
Here we go.
